Posted in July 2nd, 2012

A New York City on his way home from work on Monday was struck and killed by a fire truck responding to an emergency call.

Forty-seven year old Reginald Brown had just gotten off work as the house manager for the Doe Fund on Poster Avenue in Brooklyn around 4:00 p.m., when he was struck by a FDNY truck near Marcy Avenue and Monroe Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

Brown, whose motorcycle was totaled in the crash, was rushed to Woodhull Hospital, where he died from his injuries.

Authorities said the truck, from Ladder 111, was on its way to a rubbish fire on Nostrand Avenue and Quincy Street and its sirens were on.

No criminality is suspected.

This is completely an outrage, an innocent man’s life was taken away from his family & friends. I also knew this young man since he was a young child. He was a very loving & cheerful person. I am completely speechless that this well loved Son, Brother, Husband, Father, & Friend was taken away, from so many people who loved him, because of a careless, inconsiderate, and senseless act by a 17 year old. When acts like this take Lives it’s NOT innocent, its’ IRRESPONSIBLE!!!!!!!!
